Shank Park Disc Golf Course

"Red and yellow baskets on every hole. New paved tee boxes. Good mix of open and wooded holes."

"Pros - Two basket placements on every hole, large concrete tee pads, decent mix of wooded/open and long/short, a few really scenic fairways, in a public park but rarely had to worry about hitting pedestrians Cons - quite a few holes with no reasonable fairway and trees everywhere, tee signs often had seemingly incorrect distances and no map of pin locations making blind holes hard to find without Udisc"

"Good tee pads, some interesting holes. Two holes on the shorts should be par 4 (8, 13). 15 and 16 are poorly designed. No lines whatsoever."

"The course is marked well love the scenery"

"Hole 16 there is no line but the course as a whole is a great mix of wooded, open, up hill, down hill you name it! Great course!"

"Good mix of woods and open shots in a well kept park"

"new tees, locations are a bit off"

"I wish I could rate this course higher, but it has some serious issues. Tee sign distances are way off on a lot of holes. As plenty have pointed out, some of the longer holes should definitely be 4’s. And lastly, this course has 2 of the worst designed holes I’ve ever played. I’m plenty used to woods golf, but there should at least be a line. Some of these are just throw and pray. "

"Great course and new concrete tee pads are a super plus"

"Such a fun course! "

"Great balance between technical woods and hilly fields. "

"Great mix of open and woods….16 is hard"

"Good course. A few holes are really had par 3’s but would be to easy for 4’s. "

"Beautiful new cement pads a lot of variety in the distances and types of holes. Really cool tree groves with lots of tree obstacles as well as open field longer throws."

"Good course, super clean. A lot of trees"

"Very nice course"

"Upgraded tees (concrete). Mix of open/wooded with it switching between the two several times during the round. Elevation changes that range from gentle to pretty dramatic. Park is well-kept, and the open holes will likely have other traffic on nice days. Most of the length comes on the open holes. Overall the course is short, but varied and solid. Crazy tight gap on #6; deep into pines for #15 and #16; fun downhill tunnel finishing hole."

"Nice variety. Well kept. No complaints. Tho I think some of the longer baskets could be a pr 4. "

"The new tee pads are game changers. "

"Clean and organized course. Very short holes overall without much variation "

"Overall par is ok but individual holes need adjustment. Should be some 2s and some 4s. Also a few woods holes are just dreadful"

"Short and fun course with a mix of short technical holes and long open holes. A handful of the holes have some decent elevation changes. There isn’t much tall grass or bushes to deal with in the rough. Course does a nice job of dodging the busy sports fields and walking paths. I heard they will upgrade to concrete tee pads next week."

"Fairways nice; tee pads under construction; need to adjust pars on some of the holes as they have been updated"

"Very well kept "

"Really well kept up, massive park with so much open grassy space, this course uses both wide open shots and extremely technical (but often short) woods holes. Not too crowded but def ppl out playing here. "

"Nice course, only played the front nine. Some holes at the beginning are difficult to find and there are some long walks between some holes."

"Wonderful park. Great course. "

"Good course but the pars are off on 3 or 4 holes"

"Could use better signs to show basket placements. Hole 3 was tough to find"

"Nice course, all par 3s, great for intermediate skill level, but playable for beginners too. Mix of open and trees.(Sign missing at hole 15 tee pad.) "

"Good course, solid teepads some pads are a bit off and some holes don’t have lines to the basket. "

"Great course all around. I would if it was me change hole 13 to a par 4. Good combination of shot types and holes. Excited for the new baskets this upcoming year. "

"Great Course!"

"Great course over all, but needs some longer holes "

"Some Tee boxes not marked "

"Hooks are broken at a few tee boxes, holes 14 and 15 are unmarked, only a tee box. "

"Nicely maintained with a good mix of bomber and wooded holes. Par really low for some wooded holes. Layout can be crowded for some holes when there are lots of folks on the course. "

"Well kept, woods and open shots with some small election changes. Well marked course. Lovely. Thank you"

"Super fun!! Great hike through the park with every different type of shot shape."

"Great course but some of the holes are borderline impossible to par. 15 and 16 in particular "

"Soccer families need to respect the disc golf course and not park by baskets 7 & 10. It makes it difficult to focus on your shot."

"Fun course with a elevation changes, open shots, and wooded shots. Parking is limited and if it is a busy time, people are parked in some of the fairways which sucks."

"Fun course, lots of trees in a few of the back 9 holes make it almost just as much luck as it Is skill to make it to the basket. Great walk for the family. "

"Fun, pretty course with mixture of short and long, open and wooded. Just make sure to go when practices aren't being held. "

"Cute"

"I loved the nature mix, do bring repellant for about 4 holes. Constructive idea for the course: have signs at tees of where to throw cuz sometimes you cannot even see basket at tee- otherwise we’ll marked and designed - thanks"

"This course is in a beautiful very well cared for park. No trash anywhere which is really refreshing. The woods holes are NOT good for carts very rocky terrain. The vast majority of holes are RHBH. There are also some safety issues here. 5 and 6 as well as 7 and 8 are pretty rough and could be better. I agree with another reviewer that there is a ton of walking on several holes between basket and next tee. Short rubber tees. Lots of elevation changes which is nice."

"best course I’ve played"

"Well marked, good mix of short technical and long open holes."

"Kids soccer takes over all the park. Had to skip 4 holes."

"Really cool layout in a nice park. Unfortunately a lot of space and walking between holes, not a very efficient use of the space available. Instead of long walks there should be longer holes, plenty of room for par fours and fives. Also, the locals don’t seem to know etiquette very well."

"Course was well kept, grass was cut. We had a great time throwing there today. No tee maps though which is unfortunate but playing with the app isn’t bad. "

"Great course except for 2 woods holes with bad gaps that completely ruin the flow IMO."

"Great course for a Hershey tourist looking for a variety of lines and holes (both open and wooded). No maps of holes on signs was a bit inconvenient and some long walks between holes, but enjoyed my round and would play again!"

"Nice course, needs better signage for next hole"

"There's alot of rocks in the woods areas. Otherwise nice park, clean, bathrooms, and water."

"Not a bad course. Really pretty and well maintained. The layout has a fair bit of walking, and some of the holes have no lines. But a fun course, would play again."

"Beautiful, fun, beginner friendly. Lots of walking. Loved it!"

"Very fun and easy for new players"

"Great course, nice mix of hole lengths and terrain, great use of elevation and use of property. Some holes could be a par 4, some holes are almost on top of each other, and if it's your first time here some holes can be tricky to find. Some tee pads are getting bubbles, but as a course designer/installer myself, I know that amount of work that goes into it so I did not mind that, they still work for the course. Overall great course and would definitely play again. "

"Most of the tees on the back nine are in need of some help. Rubber is beginning to bubble. "

"Great labeling for next hole. Some holes could be par 4 instead of 3."

"Great course. Made it with a stroller but it was tricky in some spots. Nice mix of short/technical and bomber shots. "

"What’s up with the bees on 17?"

"Super fun. First half not very long but they get you on the second half:)"

"Solid course. All par 3's. Hole 16 suffers from poor course design. A few under 200' that are birdieable with a great tee shot following a specific line in the woods. The rest are easy pars except maybe 6, 8, 13, 15, 16. Those are tough to par, but feel amazing when you can! "

"Awesome course! Some of the holes are a bit close to the playing fields (there were a bunch of games going on when we played)...but far enough away to play the hole even when they have stuff going on"

"Good course. Not a fan of the rubber tee boxes "

"Great course. Really well maintained. "

"Really fun course with some beautiful downhill shots. A couple dumb luck holes. Back 9 is incredibly more challenging than the front"

"Lovely little well-kept course. I found myself wanting a bit more distance, and some clearer fairways on a few of the wooded holes "

"Fantastic course. Nice design. Great hole locations. Great elevation changes for some shots. "

"Great track, coming from Florida the elevation was a great change. The local club seems to have a lot going for them, I reached out on their Facebook page, Hershey Area Disc Golf, I was contacted by Nate and he did a wonderful job showing me around. The course was absolutely beautiful and we actually encountered a deer on hole 3. My recommendations would be to lengthen the tee pads and add some grip(non-rubber) other than that I loved the course!!"

"Absolutely stellar course! Drove 2.5 hours to play and worth every mile! "

"New tee pads are tremendous. The new red layout is fun and challenging. Word of caution approaching hole 17 red. There is still some metal fencing that needs to be removed by the gap. "

"Awesome new baskets, very nice tee pads, a concerning amount of bees on hole 17"

"Well, this is a beautiful park and the course is well maintained. But.... there are a couple holes that the par is just ridiculous. You can't have a 485' uphill Par 3. Also, 15 and 16 are just unfair. Just remove a few trees and you would have 2 great wooded holes."

"Needs some work with the course design... Trees are getting crazy on holes 3,4,6"

"Very nice course, well kept. But there are definitely some holes that should be a Par 4."

"Great course, but difficult for beginners."

"Really enjoyable, easy going course with some variety of open and wooded shots. 3 par, though a few hole could be deserving of a 4. "

"Very nice course. Good blend of long and medium range shots. Beautiful landscape! "

"Good variety of open but still interesting holes and tight wooded shots. Teepads are not-always-flat rubber and short. "

"My favorite course. You’ll walk the entire park and get great variety. "

"Good course. I think 9, 10 could use a slight rework, also 16 is painfully difficult. but over all it's a good mix of open and wooded."

"Nice course. Only suggestion is to maybe have some of the holes repared. Every hole is a par “3”"

"Well kept course. Mix of long, mostly open holes and shorter, heavily wooded ones. Has its challenges but overall very playable course. "

"Holes 15 and 16 don’t have any good lines. 16 especially has a line off the tee that if you hit, you are in terrible position for your second shot. Hole needs to be reworked a bit. Best if you miss left and get lucky through the trees."

"Great course! Hard to find next baskets on a few holes."

"Good beginner/intermediate course. A few holes are too close to each other like hole 5 & 6. However, some other holes are too far apart like hole 8 & 9. Holes 15 & 16 don’t really have any real lines, seems like a flick cut roller might be the best play. Overall it’s way too much walking for such a short course. It’s a nice canvas for a course but poorly designed. "

"Fun course, some holes were a little difficult to find. Nice hooks for bags though"

"Love this course! It's right near my home so I'm biased but it's well maintained with a nice mix of holes. Holes 5-6 Are two close and can cross each other And 8-9 is are far apart but once you know the lay out it's hard not to love"

"Very nice small course"

"A few of the early holes are hard to find but overall great course"

"Excellent red layout! Awesome to see a more challenging course"

"Very nice 18 hole course. "

"Great course! Nice tees, good mix of open and wooded holes. Course covers lots of ground be prepared to walk a bit on this course"

"Fun course. Solid variety. Few holes felt little easy and a few felt impossible but still a good round and will return. "

"Clean course, good signage. Beautiful park. "

"great course. Nice variety. "

"Poor signage. Course is a good mix of open and wooded holes. #18 might be a bit too wooded. Good mix of elevation. "

"Well kept, layout is cool. 15 and 16 are a bit much. But other than that, good course."

"Some of the front 9 holes are too short, while fun they don't seem to fit the theme of the park. Another problem with the front is how some holes player quite literally through each other, on a crowded day I can only imagine how dangerous that could become. The back 9 was this parks saving grace, beautiful layout fun shots and 15/16 were insanely enjoyable signature holes."

"Diverse course: mix of woods, obstacles, opens. Could use some tree guards at certain spots"

"This course is very RHBH friendly. Hole 1 is a fairly lightly wooded downhill run. Good starting hole. 2, 12, and 14 are fun 340-375 downhill holes. 3-5 are very tight tunnel shots with 4 offering a wide hyzer angle. If you hit an early tree it's a challenging but fair scramble. 6, 8, 13, and 16 are virtually impossible birdies for average players. 9-11 and 17 are hyzer shots of different lengths with 11 offering an over the tree forehand route. 15 and especially 16 are poke and hope holes. Fun"

"Some holes Need to be a higher par "

"Very fun course with a decent variety of holes. Not too much elevation change. The early holes are pretty short but they get longer later on. Really enjoyed it! "

"Got stung by 3 effin bees on hole 4. So look out! Holes are relatively short, majority play across open fields. Wooded holes are pretty dense and really just luck for par like others have said. Reminds me of Herr Park or Overlook in Lancaster. "

"Fun, varied course. Technical holes are challenging but certainly not unfair. "

"New tee pads are great. New pin positions not so much. Could really use some red tee pad locations using the old rubber mats just upgraded. "

"Fun course but wooded holes are pure luck for par 3."
